Who I Am

I am from Mid City right off the 10 freeway in Los Angeles.

I am going to be the best parent in the world.


I will get a profession that allows me to have financial stability and be there for my kid.


I am resourceful, hardworking and dedicated just like my parents.


However, I am open to change, reserved and indulgent unlike my parents.


My expectations for myself are created by me and my parents.

I want to achieve the financial stability that my parents want for me, but I want to be the best in whatever I do for myself.


My friends that I surround myself with are people that make me want to keep improving myself because they are the pillars of my life that set an example for me.


The sea otter embodies what I believe I am. They are intelligent, resourceful yet nonchalant. They take life at their own pace, cracking sea urchins with rocks.


The JM Tree from high school is a tree that I will forever remember. It was a coniferous tree that my friends and I always used to sit under. It provided us shade in the burning sun and cover during the rain, it was always there for us and it will live forever in my memories.


I was born on December 19, 2001 at 8:36pm.

My tripod is: 

Sun - Sagittarius 

Moon - Aquarius

Rising - Leo

    Hey Alexis! I definitely relate to you in terms of wanting financial stability, both for myself and my future family. With that said, I often find myself wondering how much I'm willing to sacrifice (e.g., leisure, relationships, etc.) for a higher pay. I hope everyone who's struggling with the job market right now can find a position that suits them soon.

    Hi Alexis, I enjoyed your comparison to sea otters. I think they are very cute and I also like how they move at their own pace. I wish we could all live like sea otters.

Book 1, Post 1

The book I have chosen to read is Brian Cox’s Putting the Rabbit in the Hat . I chose this book because the subject of the book, Brian Cox, was an actor I have recently discovered through Succession . When I think of actors, I have a preconception that they started at a higher point in life than normal such as being from an affluent family however this is not the case for Brian Cox. Reading this Cox’s autobiography has really helped me remember that even people that are very successful were not always as fortunate their whole lives. So, I think that reading this book has reminded me to relieve my preconceived thoughts about people who are very successful.  Starting at the prologue, I was shocked to see the name Steven Seagal. Seagal is an actor not many of my friend’s know of but I do because my parents loved the Under Siege series. Also, I never knew I had seen Cox in The Glimmer Man over a decade ago. Brian Cox comes across as a very humble person, who doesn’t take himself too ...

Book 1, Post 2

Reading Putting the Rabbit in the Hat by Brian Cox was a great time. The reading was structured in a way that I kind of forgot I was reading. The stories are great as Cox does not hold back on his thoughts of other actors or directors. It is very different to me reading about Cox holding himself accountable for many things he wishes he had done better. It was a breath of fresh air since most people fail to acknowledge their own shortcomings especially in an autobiography.  I do think that at first I wanted to relate to his story in some way, but this did not end up happening and I am okay with that because it made it all the more interesting reading about drastically different experiences than my own. One thing that was in my mind while reading was that Cox has always been passionate about acting and it is portrayed very clearly in this book. For me, Cox’s ambition from a young age really made me think about why I haven’t found something I am truly passionate about. Reading this b...
